A feast of new titles in our First and Second World War series. Tommy looks at the lives of hopeful young British soldiers who went to war in 1914–18, how they endured their time in the trenches, and how life was for them when – and if – they returned home. In our latest Second World War titles we learn of espionage and undercover operations; of heart-rending tales of young evacuees far from home; of how the nation’s women rallied to the battle-cry and took on roles more familiar to their menfolk; and of how people managed to enjoy (or endure) six Christmases during those wartime years, when loved-ones were often far away, fighting in foreign lands.

These delightful additions to our biographical series explore the worlds of Jane Austen, whose writings have charmed generations of readers since the 1800s, and Octavia Hill, social reformer and co-founder of the National Trust – truly a woman ahead of her time.

In a new edition of the perennially popular Over London, we look at the city from a bird’s-eye view with all-new photography as the world comes to London to experience the Olympics 2012, and as the capital celebrates three special royal events in Jubilee year. And in our latest city guide, Cardiff is brought vividly to life, providing a superb guide for visitors and a memorable souvenir of their experience. OVER LONDON ISBN: 978-1-84165-368-6 RRP: £4.99

OCTAVIA HILL ISBN: 978-1-84165-398-3 RRP: £4.99

Another exciting new title is Life in Ancient Britain, the latest in the popular ‘Life in’ series, looking back to pre-Roman times when dinosaurs walked the earth, Neanderthal man lived in caves, and the stones to build Stonehenge were being hauled across rivers and land. Last but not least, in The World of Knights & Chivalry we discover the origins and customs of knighthood in the Middle Ages, the evolution of the armoured knight as a battlefield warrior, details of the code of chivalry, and the knights’ legacy in the modern world.
